Three Stars on team India's jersey

From the streets to the stadiums, under daylight or floodlights, cricket is the game that's 'Always on'. We're a nation where cricket is always on the minds and in the hearts of a billion fans - each with a devotion to Team India fuelled by pride in its successes.

On the night of April 2nd 2011 fans across the length and breadth of the country broke into frenzied celebration. Fireworks were set off, streets were jammed, parties were spontaneous, with the drums beating for a huge moment - India came together to soak in the celebration of becoming the World Champions.

There was a fusion of smiles and tears of joy as the country cheered Team India, who became World Champions for the first time on home soil and for the third time in history. The fans stood together in true bleed blue fashion that day.

Six months later, Team India returns to home soil to face the first home series since that momentous victory. Team India will be seen sporting Nike's Blue ODI jersey this time with 3 Stars sitting pretty above the BCCI Crest - each Star a symbol of pride and a symbol of celebration of the 3 victories of 1983, 2007 and 2011.

Nike Athlete, Virat Kohli says, "I know there's a billion-plus hopes always riding on our team. That's why I try to play with responsibility and with respect to the team's needs. The pressure's always on, so my focus has to be too."

Kohli adds, "I feel really proud - for me the Three Stars on the jersey represents what the Indian team is today and how much they have achieved. I feel really honoured to be a part of a team that has won three World Cups."

Three Stars is a celebration every fan would like to be a part of - and now they can do it with pride. Nike will make the '3 Star' replica jerseys available for consumers so that they too can wear the symbol of pride and celebrate the victories the way Team India does.
